About Lincoln Park Zoo

Lincoln Park Zoo is a world of wildlife in the shadow of
skyscrapers. Located within a verdant park just minutes north of
Chicago, the zoo has been a natural, free oasis for generations of
animal lovers, who come to hear a lion’s roar echo off nearby apartment
buildings, see gorillas climb trees as the Sears Tower looms in the
distance, or forget where they are as they immerse themselves in
tropical rainforests, dry-thorn forests or spacious savannas.

We
invite you to the wildest spot in Chicago, where each year millions of
visitors marvel at wild wonders as they play and learn about the
natural world in a living, breathing, roaring classroom.
